Mothers Of Hope (MoH) is reaching out to ask for your support as we continue our outreach to individuals in our community who are struggling with addiction. With treatment and recovery resources still limited and often difficult to access, we remain committed to meeting people where they are—offering love, encouragement, and connection to the help that is available.
For years, MoH Co-Founder Gwen Lanier and our team have taken pride in reaching out directly to individuals who are still in a cycle of drug use. We provide personal care kits, share community resource information, and invite them to recovery meetings and fellowship at Mothers of Hope, located at 603 Ada Street, Kalamazoo.
We also now offer Peer Support Navigation, helping individuals find services, make connections, and take next steps when they are ready. Many long-term users may not be ready for recovery services yet—or may not have the transportation, insurance, or support needed to access them. We want them to know they are not forgotten, and they are loved.
How You Can Help
You can support this outreach by making a tax-deductible donation to Mothers of Hope and/or donating items to help us create outreach “goody bags” that are shared directly with community members in need.
Most Needed Items:
● Plastic handle tie bags
● Toothbrushes
● Toothpaste
● Wet wipes
● Deodorant
● Chips
● Cheese and crackers
● Candy bars
● Granola bars
● Lollipops and hard candy
These goody bags come in handy and allow us to provide something simple but meaningful while we also share information on where individuals can access other resources. Our goal is not to duplicate services already available, but to provide compassionate outreach and connection to care.
